We reliably quantified the pommel feature and demonstrated significant correlations with other radiographic and topologic measures of arthritic disease. If future studies can demonstrate that the pommel is a pathogenic process in ThOA and its correction can curb disease progression, the identification of the pommel feature may help guide targeted intervention.
